Frequently Asked Questions

All our subscription plans let you tailor your order to your preferred brewing method. Choose whole bean if you grind your own, or select a grind option: fine for espresso, medium for filter, and coarse for cafetière. That way, your coffee always arrives ready for how you actually make it. Head to our Subscriptions page to get started.

We roast Monday to Friday every week. Your coffee will typically have been roasted just a few days before it's dispatched, so it reaches you at its freshest.

This depends on your brewing method: fine for espresso, medium for filter, and coarse for cafetière. If you want full control over freshness and grind, we'd always recommend buying whole bean and grinding at home just before you brew.

Yes, just select your preferred grind (espresso, filter, cafetière, etc.) from the drop-down menu when you order. Shop our coffee to see it in action.

Yes, we're happy to do a custom grind, but you'll need to contact us directly to arrange it. Espresso grinds in particular can be tricky to dial in perfectly, but we'll always do our best.

Any of our coffees can be enjoyed as an espresso. It really comes down to which flavour profile you fancy, rather than one fixed "espresso coffee." Simply select the espresso grind option when you order and you're good to go. Browse our full range on the Shop Coffee page, or take our Coffee Quiz if you'd like a recommendation.

The same applies here: all of our coffees work well as a filter brew. Just choose the medium/filter grind at checkout and pick whichever coffee's tasting notes appeal to you most. Have a browse of our Shop Coffee page to compare tasting notes.

Yes. Our whole range is suited to whatever way you like to brew: espresso, filter, cafetière, and beyond. It's the grind that changes, not the coffee. Select your preferred grind at checkout and any coffee in our range will work. Take a look at our Shop Coffee page to find your next bag.

Yes, our pods are compatible with all standard Nespresso machines.

Store pods in a cool, dark place in an airtight container for best freshness.

Coffee is a seasonal crop, with one or two harvests a year depending on the country of origin. We buy small lots from many different farms, so as one coffee sells out, we move on to the next. Some of the farms we work with are very small, which means those coffees change hands more often.

Keep it in an airtight container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing it in the fridge or freezer, as this can affect freshness.

Coffee doesn't spoil as such if kept dry, but it will gradually lose flavour over time. For the best taste, we'd recommend drinking it somewhere between one week and one month from the roast date, and within three months at the most.

This varies by method, and there's plenty of guidance online for different brewers. As a starting point, we recommend around 24g for filter coffee and 18-22g for espresso, lattes, and flat whites, but do experiment to find the strength you enjoy most.

Not as such. Strength really comes down to how much coffee and water you use, so it's worth adjusting to taste rather than following a fixed guide

All of our coffees have a loyal following, but each has its own distinct flavour profile. Check the tasting notes on each product page to find one that matches what you're after. Browse them all on our Shop Coffee page.

The majority of our range is Arabica, though we do stock a few Robusta options for those who want an extra kick.
